How To Choose A Name For Your Lizard

There are hundreds of great Lizard names but how do you choose one?

Some keepers already have a name picked before they adopt a lizard – others don’t.

Finding the best name can be tough. What should you choose?

One of the best ways to narrow down your choices is to use a shortlist. From your shortlist try and match the following three rules:

1. What color is your lizard?
2. What is its personality?
3. Is it male or female?

Hopefully our list of lizard names has inspired you!
